"I think I'm just too funny to complete this challenge"

yeah Grian, I'm sure immediately finding and sticking to your bestie Puns Georg and recreating Last Life for the entire first half of the session had absolutely NOTHING to do with it

Dogs could be really op this season. They do a lot of chip damage and that's exactly what is risky

grian killing and immediately bursting into laughter says a lot about him i think

[horizon-penblade]

scott burning his task to spite the secretkeeper is. Certainly a decision.

and btw, grian's last stand against gem and the scotts? Insane. I cant help but replay the scene where he tells Cleo to get away over and over again, "You need to move out of the way, there's no trigger. I'm manually triggering it." because like. there's no way he really thought he was gonna get out of this. He had to be there in order for the trap to go off, the escape hatch was a pipe dream. What he was really saying to Cleo was, "Save yourself, I'll hold them back." He knows he's not going to get away from Gem and the Scotts, but he just wants to give Cleo a fighting chance.

And then I cant help but remember Grian's last words in Last Life, "Not like this! Not like this!". Ever since Last Life, his deaths have been... a little sad. Stabbed in the back while running away from Scott, killed by a warden through a wall, falling onto the very corner of a cobblestone block after falling off his tower -- right next to the water, too.

I think, in this season, grian wanted to die for a reason. he didn't want it to be an accident, a preventable goof, and more importantly he wanted it to mean something. He wanted to die protecting someone else. Outlive his teammates for a change.

Cleo still dies before he does, but he doesn't have any confirmation of that, just the distant sound of thunder, and he's too busy fighting to really process it. When he dies, he doesn't have any complaints. No 'I don't feel good"s, no "Not like this"s, no "I'm so sorry, Scar"s, no "Don't tell Tim"s. This time all he says is, "I did a lot of damage." He's satisfied with his death, proud of it, even.

And I think, even if he died, even if his sacrifice didn't mean too much, he felt his death was a lot more honorable than his other ones. He died on his own terms, he died protecting someone, he died fighting, and, just like Grian always aims to go, he went out with a bang.

god okay. etho not attacking grian & cleo when the other infected weren’t around and lying about it to the others…

[traffrogers]

mumbo k. jumbo WHAT are you naming your servers???!!!!

Defiance. That is the sum of every victory in the life game.

From Grian who swore his life to the very same man he killed to win.

From Scott who did not give into the boogey curse and won to avenge his ally in a game about betrayal.

From Pearl who refused the soulmate that was given to her, refused allies in a game where the rules of the world demand you have one.

From Martyn who chose to win even if it meant sacrificing his honour.

To Scar, appointed villain by the universe, who kept trying to make friends. Who was finally given free rein to form alliances and bonds, only to play every group against each other. Who found an ally willing to die for him in the end, only to turn on her the second there was no one but the two of them left.
